In depth
Verdict
Godolphin paid a whopping €2m for Ancient Wisdom, a brother to a winner, while Crown Estate is another Dubawi colt and is the first foal of a French 1000 Guineas winner. €350,000 purchase Victory Shout is a half-brother to a winner in France and is preferred to both Paladin and Under The Sun but a chance is taken on DALLAS STAR. The half-brother to eight winners and 50,000gns yearling was sold for 180,000gns at a Breeze-Up sale in April and may prove good enough.
